Great. Just when I'd finally gotten that song out of my head, now it's back in there. I'm glad that they didn't let him through, because he could have a serious future in Chinese pop music.

@brasstax: He's like Mike Huckabee... utterly charming, but probably evil inside.

@DavidWatts: Change up that backing track
slightly–take away the inspirational house beat, add a few swelling
strings–and it could end the third act of a Bollywood movie, where the
former rivals finally accept each other before leaving for the World
Cricket Championships in London.

This guy DEFIES you to put him in a stylistic box.

@extracrispy: I'm straight but I was still oddly enchanted by the tractor hillbilly too.

Pardon me while I queen out for a moment...

Holy crap, was last night full of hotties! From the male model husband of the karaoke chick to the hillbilly who sings on his tractor (yum!). Even the unfortunate virgin was sorta cute... you know the one whose father is clearly molesting him. Who cares if they could sing? Sign me up!

Please return to your regularly scheduled heterosexual programming.

@pr0FF3ss0r_j3rkwh3at: I kept imagining it over the credits of some anime. A field of flowers, girls in school uniforms standing on cliffs staring at the sunset, a boy and his giant battle robot or pet vampire, that sort of thing.

I thought Paula looked pretty great, actually, and sounded alright, too. They seemed to be having a good time. Yay, everybody.

Wait, he’s 44? What accent was that? Does he have some sort of speech impediment?
